Operation "Return Fire" (Repeat thread)
  • Posted On: Sep 30 2002 3:36am
OOC: Jesmin, I think not. I know your still watching Ylesia, and I stated there I'd try to reply as soon as possible, thinking I'd be able to do it yesterday. This weekend has frankly been pretty nuts, and I simply don't have the time to write a proper post. The only reason I didn't post that here is I know you've been checking in on Ylesia(you posted after my last IC action there). I'm also waiting to talk to Leia again, I spotted a discrepency in our chat when I went looking for the logs and it needs to be covered. I'm sorry but no. I waited well over a week for Elian to post in Ylesia, I'm sure you can be patient as well.

OOC:It has been 10 days, same as what you where going to give Elian. I want to get this thread over with, or I wouldn’t use this rule against you. I am using the description in the other Return Fire thread for how your ships are spread apart. Since in that thread you didn’t state where the lancer frigates where, just what group, I am going to assume they are on the flanks of the groups, with the Allegiance, Galactic and Imperial Star Destroyers in the center, a bunch of ships in between them and the lancers. I noticed a mistake in my manifest.

IC:
“Sir we are within effective firing range.”

“Excellent. All fighters are to move otu and fire on enemy fighters. All Aegis Star Cruiser Mk.II load Diamond Boron Missiles into your launchers at fire at those enemy starfighters. All Corellian Gunships do the same. All ships, rotate so that you can unleash a full broadside against the enemy. All Viscount Star Defenders, ignore the last order. Get targets appropriate to your size. Strident and Thor are attacking the two Galactic Star Destroyers while Viscount will get the Allegiance. All Planetary Guns fire on the Allegiance.”

The ships moved out on their proscribed missions. The planetary guns fired, using the technique that only left them open for a couple seconds. Viscount unleashed its weaponry against the Allegiance, all guns targeting the Shield Generators. The Diamond Boron Missiles were loaded intot he launchers at launched, causing devistating losses to the enemy fighters. Since they were still in formation, most missiles hit at least four fighters, with a few hitting two or three. As much as the Imperial Fighters tried, they could not shoot down the missiles, since they're armor was to strong for lasers to penetrate and missiles couldn't get target locks on them. With 152 missiles launched in the first salvo, the fighters suffered dreadful losses. A total of 588 fighters were lost. 48 Assault Gunboats, 72 Missile Boats, 96 TIE Bombers, 114 TIE Defenders, 48 TIE Advanced, 138 TIE Fighters and 72 TIE Interceptors. That left the enemy with 24 Assault Gunboats, no Missile Boats, no TIE Bombers, 178 TIE Defenders, 48 TIE Advanced, 358 TIE Fighters and no TIE Interceptors, a total of 608 fighters, still more then the Mon Calamari Republic had, but only by 51 fighters, and since all the Mon Calamari Republic starfighters had shields, and 358 of the Imperial fighters didn't, the Mon Calamari Republic had a large chance of winning. Unfortunatly the Mon Calamari Republic starfighter were generally slower, or the same speed as the Imperial fighters. All the Republic fighters stayed well away from the Lancer Frigates, which stood a chance of getting them destroyed.

“All AT-HAs launch. Go land on the MC-200 and drill holes into it. Get me a channel with the MC-200. Tell the AT-HAs to fire at any one who comes near them.”

"Yes sir."

"All crew of the MC-200. Your ships has holes being drilled itno it as we speak. These holes are conected to air locks at the moment, but you have five minutes before we release your ship to vacum."

The AT-HA launched and went on their proscribed job. Between them on their way to the ship they destroyed 20 fighters, most of the TIE Fighters. They often found that the enemy fighters just out distanced them. The AT-HAs had excellent weaponry and shielding, but suffered in speed to the fighters. Strident and Thor moved in against the two Galactic Star Destroyers, causing a lot of damage to the enemy’s shields. Implacable moved in against the Bulwark Heavy Cruiser. Helios moved in and fired on the Imperial MK.II Star Destroyer PeFauna. Tsyklon fired on the other Imeprial MK.II Star Destroyer, Rage. Pride and Atlas each fired on one of the Impeiral Star Destroyer. Home One fired on another one. Decurion, Venus, Razor, Swift Liberty, Starwind, Aquaris, Shadow Defender, Pluto, Defender, Baldaccini and Europe fired on the remaining eleven Imperial Star Destroyers. Fire Hawk fired on the Dauntless Battle Cruiser. The MC-200 trio of Sputnik, Titan and Mercury formed up and fired on the three Victory Star Destroyers. Liberty fired on the Redemption Battlecruiser Ravenblade II. Saviour, Thunderstorm and Myron fired on the three Modified Lictor Dungeon Ships. Ingenuity and Bimmisaari fired on two fo the Interdictor Cruisers, Strawberry and Herpago. Impervious fired on the remaining one, Robust. The MC-90s from the First Fleet, Yavin, Startide, Galactic Voyager, Defiance, Raging Star and Sovereign, fired on the Abolisher Cruisers. The MC-80bs and MC-80s fired on four of the Dreadnaughts, Courageous, Defender, Chandrilla and Snake. Hawk fired on the remaining one. Sea Hawk, Anik and Storm Hawk fired on the three Nebulon-C Frigates. Battle Hawk, War Hawk and Thunder Hawk fired on three of the Modified Nebulon-B2 Frigates. Agena fired on the remaining one. Sea Strom fire don the Nebulan B Frigate Desire. Saturn and Javacheff fired on the two Carrack Cruisers, Extreme and Monstrous. Draco, Dark Magician and Flaming Swordsman fire don Wizard. Labyrinth, Celtic Guardian and Celtic Warrior fired on Shockwave. Reaper of Rewards Harrier and Leo fired on Vong. Cancer, Hercules and Scorpio fired on Council. Discoble fired on Medal of Courage. Re, Ta and Taimat fired on Periodic Destruction. Sumpntodo, Shadow and Gate Guardian fired on Wrought Wrath. Poesy, Planka and Pertenax fired on Terror of Adumar. Margaret, Lulsla and Farlaricae fired on Welded Scar. Condor and Cathleen fired on Paxa and Lofte. Ben Het and Columbia fired on Victorious and Pulley. Ardent fired on Defender. Mon Kanna and Energiya fired on Power grip. Zeus, Zenit and Valiant fired on the three Lancer frigates. The Corellian Gunships fired on Wendigo. Duchamp fired on any fighters that came near it.

"All MC-300 and Abolisher Cruisers prepare to bring your gravity well generators and pulse mass generators on line the seoncd any enemy Abolisher Cruiser or Interdictor Cruiser is destroyed. If they take down their fields power ours up, I want them trapped here."

Meanwhile on Victorious.
Threw the door came a crew of technicians and a couple storm troopers. The pilot immediately shot the stormtroopers. Pointing his gun at the technicians he said.

“Fix this TIE Defender and get it running again.”

He waited for a response…

OOC:
TJE losses:

MC-200-disable, AT-HAs drilling holes into it. The AT-HAs are using their quad laser cannons at a low intensity to fire on the enemy ships, slowly burning a hole through the hull.

608 Fighters, just over half your amount. Also my fighters would destroy soem of yours, but I will elt you describ what kinds of yours I destroyed and what Kinds of mine you destroyed.

Stormtroopers on Victorious.

MCR losses:

Some shield power, but less then the imperial forces.

1 TIE Defender

Some other fighters, will let you RP how much of each kind.

Give the poor guy a break, he's going through really (and I can sympathize with him) bad RL issues. He'll be back ASAP, but just chill 'till then. So far I'm disagreeing with the damage, but I'll have to speak to him about it.

OOC: Jesmin, I really am sorry for dragging this on, I hate when it happens to me, and I hatedoing it even more. Fact is, Chadd is right though. Oddly enough, as rarely as he and I get to talk lately, he does happen to be privy to the IRL issues that are keeping me away. For your benefit as well as the thread, I'll list them in minor detail here, and get back to the thread as soon as possible. Again my apologies.

1) My original reason for falling behind, now secondary to another. As you may or may not know, I'm a college student, one who has to reach a certain standing with my grades or I am A) kicked out of school or B) lose my financial aid and can't pay for school, a factor which stems from many things. I'm already dangerously close to losing that, as I nearly did last semester, after throwing too much of my time into this and other diversions. Another problem is like I said, money. Other than working incredibly hard on school, I have to find work in a college down seemingly devoid of jobs, despite my diversity of skills. That pretty much packed my time up until Wensday.

2) The most important one to me, and what has recieved the vast majority of my time since Wen. That is when my girlfriend of over a year, the woman I fully intend to marry, decided we need to take a break so she can sort some things out. As I hope you would understand, I'm a bit devastated when the most important person in my life tells me that. I personally have taken it as a wake-up call, and seeing a lot of areas I could have been better in, not to say I was a bad guy in the first place. So fixing those things has been my absolute focus of my attention since then, including going home this weekend, and getting away from all the reminders of that horrendous night. Thankfully we're keeping close friends and I have high hopes for when she gets things sorted out, but I'm not going to slack off in any of the weak areas I saw afterwards.

3) Computer issues, minor but still annoying. Those have continued, it took me half an hour to get my computer running this morning, stupid thing. Second, as I said before, I need to double check a conversation with OS, making sure I understood her right from before, since I saw a possible other understanding when I went to post the logs as you requested.

So, once again my apologies Jesmin, I'm doing my very best to get through the things that are keeping me away, but so far I've only found time for short replies on the OOC board, not lengthy detailed ones like this deserves. Ironically, I'd have left the game entirely after Wen were it not for my girlfriend. Despite her distaste for the game, she wants me to keep playing because she knows I enjoy it.

Chadd, since this is a TJE fleet, your free to take over if you wish, just email me to let me know you want to and I'll reply with my battle plan, which I would think is designed for ultimate effectiveness.

Thanks for your patience.

OOC:I'm sorry jadner I would have waited, but since it isn't you losing the ships, it's chadd I won't wait. Post remains. I will wait one week between each post though, to make it easier for you to get a response in before the fleet dies. I actually was goign to wait, but then I notcied a post by chadd in the attack of Chandrilla thread. After a friend of mine, Scottie Gill asked for him to wait so he could edit is post, chadd went ahead and used the three day rule. That made me more then a bit mad, and is why I am going to make sure he losses every single ship he brought to Bimmisaari. And I'm sorry about your girlfriend breaking up with you. That is harsh.

OOC

Umm...Jesmin, I went on because he had no issues with making an OOC post, but he sure as HELL didn't edit his post.

You have qualms with this? If someone is going to @#%$ at me, the least they can do is finish their post.

Jesmin glanced out the viewport. The Allegiance Star Destroyer Lusakya III had it's shields at almost now power. The MC-200 was spewing escape pods like there wasn't a tommorow. The fighters were destroying the enemy fighters, with mimimal losses. Half the enemy fighters which were left alive were on the other side of the planet, returning from blowing up mines. The two Ravenblade's were lossing shield power. Extinguisher was down on shield power. The Imperial MK.II Star Destroyers, Rage and Pefauna had no shield power. The Bulwark Battle Cruiser also didn't have any shield power. Her datapad indicated that the five minutes were up.

"All AT-HAs release the MC-200 to vacum. All fighters retreat from the fight, the rest fo the enemy fighters are incoming in twenty seconds. Diamond Boron Missiles will be launched in thirty seconds. All ships stop firing on any ships that don't have shield power. Al Planetary Guns you have new targets. The Planetary Ion Cannons hit the two Raveblades. The Advanced Turbolaser hits the Extinguisher. Jam all long range communications, just as the enemy is."

"Shield down on the Allegiance."

"Thank you."

"Shields down on Ravenblade II. The Ion Cannon will hit the bare hull, disabling it."'

"Fine."

"Planetary Guns have fired. All fighters have retreated from the fight. Enemy reinforcements have returned. Missiles launched and report that the moajority of the enemy fighters have been killed. All Gunboats, Missile Boats, TIE Bombers and TIE Interceptors are destroyed. The enemy has another 24 TIE Advanced, 54 TIE Fighters and 75 TIE Defenders left. our fighters have lost 24 Y-wings and the 10 Missile Boats. We also lost 12 TIE Defenders and five B-wings. All X-wings and O-wings remain."

"All fighters re-enter the fight. Lancer Frigate go help assault another enemy Lancer Frigate. All B-wings and O-wings You ahve a special mission. The Abolisher Cruisers are quite annoying. I want you to split up into groups of 2 O-wings for five of the groups and 26 B-wings for those five groups. The other groups gets 29 B-wings. All ships are to fire as much as possible at the Abolisher Cruisers. All ships formerly on Diamond Boron Missile launching, you have been changed to your normal profiles. All Y-wings do an attack run against Strawberry."

60 projectiles flew out at five of the Abolisher Cruisers. 58 Proton Torpedoes flew at the other one. The AT-HAs had meanwhile left the MC-200, releasign it to vacum. They began to drill into Ravenblade II. 48 proton torpedoes flew at Strawberry.

"To Rage, Pefauna, Luskankya III, Ravenblade I and II, Extinguisher and Invincible your shields are down. In five minutes your ships will be destroyed. Escape while you are still ahead. And your surrender will be accepted at any time."

With the message sent Jesmin leaned back, to watch the battle unfold.

Onboard Victorius.

"We will never fix your fighter for you."

"Hav it your way."

The pilot shot each of the technicians. Now it was time to gain some weapons. He searched all the stormtroopers he ahd shot, and took their blaster rifles. Then he looked into an air lock. He already had his pilot's suit on, which was able to withstand vacum, but he wanted something more. Suddenly he foudn what he was looking for.

"Excellent, space trooper armor."

He quickly put it on. After glancing at a computer he pulled up a blueprint of the ship.

Excelent, just like a Corellian Corvette, the bridge he above the hanger.

He walked over to the middle pof the room. Placing a normal thermal detenator on the roof of the hanger, he ran back for cover. Once it had exploded he climbed up into the bridge. He pointed the miniture concussion missile launcher that was on all spacetrooper armor at the viewport.

"Surrender or die."

Your Losses:

All your fighters but 54 TIE Fighters, 75 TIE Defenders and 24 TIE Advanced.

All shields on: Rage, Pefauna, Luskankya III, Ravenblade I and II, Extinguisher and Invincible

Almost no shields on most other ships

Some technicians

My losses:

Some shield power

12 TIE Defenders
5 B-wings
10 Missile Boats
24 Y-wings
